Instead of shooting from the hip, I looked up phosphorescence in Wikipedia. There I learned of triplet states and how it leads to photon energy storage. I posted a quote and a link.

The "trplet states" merely refers to the glow-in-the-dark discussion. I just seriously doubt this thread can teach any one of us nothing.

i think by the whole "today i leant how to read" part, that the rest of what i said was also a joke, not a funny hahah joke but a light hearted comment anyway. not to be taken seriously and continued into a discussion about how much can be learnt from this thread.

When you play clarinet the bulk of the instrument's weight is supported by the right thumb and surrounding muscles.
What I learned is that it's a bad idea for me to play a 2 1/2 hour rehearsal and then come home and play Tetris. Owwwwwwwwwww my thumb! |

The birds in question were in fact arctic terns (<cite>Sterna paradisaea</cite>), and, like virtual particles, are always found in pairs, mostly because one good tern deserves another. Having a stone left over with both birds already dispatched left an extra stone that could be used for parity-based error correction, or other expressions of doubt, such as theatrical criticism ("Let he who is without sin stone the cast first"). The thoroughness represented by this redundancy yielded another catchphrase: "Leaving no tern unstoned".

I learned that when fencing foil a straight lunge at the right time can be a devastating attack, especially when performed by an 11 year old girl on the fragile ego of a 12 year old boy. Yes, I am proud of my kid.
Lesson two from the Maestro. Intellectualize what is working for you. What exactly was it you did? Why did it work? Under what conditions will it work again. Gut instincts are cool but to get to the next level you've got to act consciously. It seems to me that is a life lesson more than a fencing lesson.

I learned that I should go to the Little Bar more often...Bud Light longnecks are only $1.50.

I've been collecting broken crayon pieces to remelt into home-made swirly crayons for my Daisy troop's craft this week. I started prepping them this morning by peeling the paper off the cheap ones, and feebly attempting to off the Crayolas. Today I learned why they are more expensive than the other brands. It's the top secret super glue they to keep their labels on...dayam.
